Video game to Movie films Dwayne is attached to star (3 films)
Thanks to KD_MAD for sending this in. According to ign here are 3 video to movie films Dwayne has been attached to star in and the current status:
Duke Nukem
Status: Dormant
Hail to the king, baby! It could’ve been cool back in the day, but this long-rumored project is well past its prime. However, Threshold Entertainment still has the movie rights to Duke Nukem. They had even setup an official website for the flick at one time — it’s now down. The studio had hooked up with Dimension Films and was planning, as of late 2001, to turn the property into a PG-13 film set in outer space… but that was ages ago, and we’re guessing that Duke is dead. R.I.P.
Psi-Ops
Status: Dormant
Producers Adrian Askarieh and Chuck Gordon picked up the movie rights to Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy back in August 2004, but Askarieh tells us that the project is no longer active. The Midway game follows a gifted Psi-Operative who infiltrates a dangerous terrorist group by having his memory erased and allowing himself to be captured. As his memory slowly returns, he recalls his unique abilities and uses them to thwart the group’s deadly plans. The producers had hoped to tie the film’s release into the game’s sequel, but it seems that plans for the game and the film were shelved after the title’s limited success in the market.
Spy-Hunter
Status: In Development
It’s been a long wait since producers Adrian Askarieh and Chuck Gordon picked up the movie rights to Midway’s Spy-Hunter back in 2002, but the Universal-based game-to-film adaptation is closer to becoming a big-screen reality. A well-placed source tells IGN that a major filmmaker will be announced soon and hints that fans will be very pleased with the choice! As has been previously reported, the movie will center on former F-15 pilot Alec Sects who is recruited by an elite government agency to become a Spy Hunter. His mission is to bring down a cartel seeking world domination, utilizing his fully-armed vehicle, the G-6155 Interceptor which can morph into various configurations — just like in the game. Scribes Zak Penn (X2, Behind Enemy Lines), Michael Brandt & Derek Haas (2 Fast 2 Furious), and Freddy Vs. Jason writers Mark Swift & Damian Shannon have all contributed to the script. Our guess is that the new director will determine what previously written material is retained. Stay tuned for more!Â
